Description
Get an insightful, expert look at the inner workings of China's business world, highlighting the country's attempts to develop the scientific and technological base for a greener economic model.
Business and Technology in China offers a perceptive look at China's economic wonder and the science/business partnership that is pointing the way to its future. In a series of narrative chapters, the book marks China's astonishing transformation into a global manufacturing powerhouse, with specific coverage of the devastating human and environmental impact of that growth, the effects of the 2008 global financial crisis, and China's new Initiatives for creating a more sustainable economic model.
Business and Technology in China shows why China's renewed focus on scientific and technological innovation as an economic driver is so important. Drawing on extensive research, author Jing Luo makes the case that China's new model can still produce significant growth, even as it sets the stage for improved living standards and smarter environmental stewardship.

Reviews / Votes
"The book is designed for use in the classroom, with chapters structured to complement typical lectures on modern China. The writing is accessible to general readers and less advanced students, employing individual stories and cases rather than theoretical discussions. The book is illustrated with numerous b&w photos, and includes print and online resources and a chronology from 1949 to the present." - Reference & Research Book NewsMore details
